Huxley

Huxley is the award winning IOW comedy magician who is officially ‘Nearly’ the best in southern England.

Scrapbot Battles started when he saw the Hebocon Video and decided to run the First World IOW Scrapbot Battle Championships. Like Robot wars, only these bots are LO-TECH (sometimes NO-TECH!). All the Bots are made from reused, recycled or upcycled toys, r/c cars, battery powered items etc.

Bots ‘wrestle’ Sumo style until there is one bot left standing. They also do tug of war, racing, and Skittles. He has 10 Battle bots that are already constructed and can be decorated at the beginning of the session to fit with a chosen colour and theme. The kids then get to battle it out!

FEEDBACK FROM ATTENDEES

“Every session I attended was excellent and all probably in different ways. The standard was extremely high I thought – even though I had thought last year’s Festival could not be bettered for me!”
Festival Attendee

“Ruth Rosen’s talk was magical in every sense. Her reading of Keats poetry and letters certainly provided the ‘escapism’ from the realities of daily life as underlined by the Programme Director, Anthea Parker, in her Foreword to the Isle of Wight Literary Festival programme.”
Sue Hicks

FEEDBACK FROM PRESENTERS

“Just to thank you for a wonderful visit to the IOW! It was such a privilege to bring an autumnal Cuckoo to the Literary Festival. I had a lovely audience with some great questions and I really enjoyed the special atmosphere of the weekend.”
Nick Davies

“It is certainly one of the best I’ve been to, really friendly and efficient, with all the writers being made to feel special and welcome.”
Christopher Somerville

“I loved it! I think the festival was a great success and I have the advantage of being able to compare it to others. Nothing else has quite the camaraderie or the devoted audiences.”
